So... Revisiting our previous post, we broached the question...
How do I determine how much of the JustShopBy Barter Zone™ to give up as a discount to a specific Customer?
And our recommendation was to customize per-Customer discounts based on what the Customer is willing to do to help the Shop in exchange for the discount, thus using the discount to offset the Shop’s costs elsewhere (i.e. marketing, research, liability insurance, etc.).
In the simplest application of our approach, a Shop could identify the set of tasks that the Customer could perform that would be useful to the Shop, rank those tasks on importance, then assign each task a portion of the JustShopBy Barter Zone™ maximum possible discount based on that task's importance relative to the other tasks in the set.
For some Shops, this simple approach may be good enough.
However, for Shops, that demand greater granularity and control, we created the JustShopBy™ Platform to address this need through our proprietary, patent-pending technology.
So rather than try to explain the very detailed functionality of our JustShopBy™ Platform in a casual blog post, we started creating a User Manual to document the specifics of how you can apply our Platform to your Shop.
If you want to learn more about our JustShopBy™ Platform to determine whether you wish to adopt our Platform at your Shop, we invite you to review our User Manual, which is accessible here.
